Join me at The Kenyon Review on Thursday, March 30 at 4:10 PM for a reading and livelyQ&A session! I'll read from The Girl Who Slept with God and attempt to answer any questions you have about my book (or anyone else's!). Free and open to students and the public.

Idaho friends, join me at Storyfort on Friday, March 24 at 1 PM for a reading and craft talk! I'll read from The Girl Who Slept with God and share some tips on how to craft fiction. The best part? It's free to attend!

Join me at Booksmith on July 28 at 7 PM for Bookswap 2.0, a new and improved version of a much-beloved event. Improved how, you say? Tickets are now only $10, and this includes an open bar and snacks! To have fun, all you have to do is show up with ten bucks, and if you're interested in swapping books with friends or strangers, bring a copy of a book that loosely fits the theme of exile. You'll get 20% off anything you decide to buy that night and will leave with some new titles on your must-read list.

In addition, I will read from the recently released paperback of The Girl Who Slept with God and we'll all hang out and discuss the books we brought. It promises to be a great night! Hope to see you all there!

Debut authors Val Brelinski and Julie Lawson Trimmer (author of the novel, Five Days Left) will have a lively discussion about their novels and will participate in a Q&A session. A book signing will follow.
